Abstract
Oxidative stress caused by light and high temperature arises during in vitro maturation (IVM), resulting in low-quality embryos compared with those obtained in vivo. To overcome this problem, we investigated the influence of piperine (PIP) treatment during maturation of porcine oocytes on subsequent embryo development in vitro. Porcine oocytes were cultured in IVM medium supplemented with 0, 50, 100, 200, or 400 μM PIP. After parthenogenetic activation, the blastocyst (BL) formation was significantly higher and the apoptosis rate was significantly lower using 200 μM PIP-treated oocytes (200 PIP). In the 200 PIP group, the level of reactive oxygen species at the metaphase II stage was decreased, accompanied by an increased level of glutathione and increased expression of antioxidant processes (Nrf2, CAT, HO-1, SOD1, and SOD2). Consistently, chromosome misalignment and aberrant spindle organization were alleviated and phosphorylated p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity was increased in the 200 PIP group. Expression of development-related (CDX2, NANOG, POU5F1, and SOX2), anti-apoptotic (BCL2L1 and BIRC5), and pro-apoptotic (BAK, FAS, and CASP3) processes was altered in the 200 PIP group. Ultimately, embryo development was improved in the 200 PIP group following somatic cell nuclear transfer. These findings suggest that PIP improves the quality of porcine oocytes by reducing oxidative stress, which inevitably arises via IVM. In-depth mechanistic studies of porcine oocytes will improve the efficiencies of assisted reproductive technologies.

Int J Oncol 2023; 63:96. [PMID: 37417362 PMCID: PMC10552721 DOI: 10.3892/ijo.2023.5544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The pathogenesis mechanism of lung cancer is very complex, with high incidence and mortality. Serpin family A member 3 (SERPINA3) expression levels were reduced in the sera of patients with lung cancer and may be a candidate diagnostic and prognostic survival biomarker in lung cancer, as previously reported. However, the detailed biological functions of SERPINA3 in the pathogenesis of lung cancer remain unknown. In the present study, it was aimed to explore the effects of SERPINA3 on the occurrence of lung cancer. SERPINA3 expression was assessed using bioinformatics database analysis and experimental detection. Then, the biological effects of SERPINA3 were investigated in a cell culture system and a xenograft model of human lung cancer. The potential regulatory mechanism of SERPINA3 in lung cancer was explored by data‑independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‑MS) detection and further validated by western blotting (WB). The results indicated that SERPINA3 expression levels were significantly downregulated in lung cancer tissues and cell lines. At the cellular level, it was revealed that overexpressed SERPINA3 inhibited cell growth, proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted the apoptosis of lung cancer cells. Moreover, overexpressed SERPINA3 enhanced the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to osimertinib. In vivo, a xenograft model of human lung cancer was established with BALB/c nude mice. After the injection of A549 cells, the tumor growth of the tumor‑bearing mice in the SERPINA3‑overexpressing group increased more slowly, and the tumor volume was smaller than that in the empty‑vector group. Mechanistically, a total of 65 differentially expressed proteins were identified. It was found that the speckle‑type POZ protein (SPOP) was significantly upregulated in SERPINA3‑overexpressing H157 cells using DIA‑MS detection and analysis. WB validation showed that SPOP expression increased, and NF‑kappaB (NF‑κB) p65 was inhibited in cell lines and tumor tissues of mice when SERPINA3 was overexpressed. The present findings suggest that SERPINA3 is involved in the development of lung cancer and has an antineoplastic role in lung cancer.

Abstract
As a member of the neurotrophic family, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) provides a key link in the physiological process of mammalian ovarian follicle development, in addition to its functions in the nervous system. The emphasis of this study lay in the impact of BDNF on the proliferation of porcine follicular granulosa cells (GCs) in vitro. BDNF and tyrosine kinase B (TrkB, receptor of BDNF) were detected in porcine follicular GCs. Additionally, cell viability significantly increased during the culture of porcine GCs with BDNF (100 ng/mL) in vitro. However, BDNF knockdown in GCs decreased cell viability and S-phase cells proportion-and BDNF simultaneously regulated the expression of genes linked with cell proliferation (CCND1, p21 and Bcl2) and apoptosis (Bax). Then, the results of the receptor blocking experiment showed that BDNF promoted GC proliferation via TrkB. The high-throughput sequencing showed that BDNF also regulated the expression profiles of miRNAs in GCs. The differential expression profiles were obtained by miRNA sequencing after BDNF (100 ng/mL) treatment with GCs. The sequencing results showed that, after BDNF treatment, 72 significant differentially-expressed miRNAs were detected-5 of which were related to cell process and proliferation signaling pathways confirmed by RT-PCR. Furthermore, studies showed that BDNF promoted GCs' proliferation by increasing the expression of CCND1, downregulating miR-127 and activating the ERK1/2 signal pathway. Moreover, BDNF indirectly activated the ERK1/2 signal pathway by downregulating miR-127. In conclusion, BDNF promoted porcine GC proliferation by increasing CCND1 expression, downregulating miR-127 and stimulating the MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling cascade.

Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13091511.

Abstract
Feather colors of chickens are not only characteristics of breeds but also as phenotypic markers in chicken breeding. Pure-bred Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicks have a stripe pattern and a non-stripe pattern on the back. The stripe pattern of RIR is generally shown as four longitudinal black stripes on the back and is more likely to appear in females. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify candidate genes controlling the stripe pattern of RIR chicks, and then, based on physical location and biological functions, quantitative RT-PCR analysis was used to validate the differential expression of candidate genes between stripe pattern and non-stripe pattern back skin tissue. The GWAS showed that a major signal contains 768 significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 87 significant small insertions-deletions (INDELs) spanning 41.78 to 43.05 Mb (~1.27 Mb) on GGA1, corresponding to 16 genes associated with stripe pattern phenotype. Among these 16 genes, KITLG and TMTC3 could be considered candidate genes as they showed different expressions between back skin tissues of stripe pattern and non-stripe pattern chicks in value (p = 0.062) and the significant level (p < 0.05), respectively. This study provided novel insight into the mechanisms underlying feather pigmentation and stripe formation in RIR chicks.

Abstract
Ras-association domain family (RASSF) proteins are tumor suppressors and have gained phenomenal limelight because of their mechanistic role in the prevention/inhibition of carcinogenesis and metastasis. Decades of research have demystified wide ranging activities of RASSF molecules in multiple stages of cancers. Although major fraction of RASSF molecules has tumor suppressive roles, yet there is parallel existence of proof-of-concept about moonlighting activities of RASSF proteins as oncogenes. RASSF proteins tactfully rewire signaling cascades for prevention of cancer and metastasis but circumstantial evidence also illuminates oncogenic role of different RASSF proteins in different cancers. In this review we have attempted to provide readers an overview of the complex interplay between non-coding RNAs and RASSF proteins and how these versatile regulators shape the landscape of carcinogenesis and metastasis.
